The tour will end outside a pub and the first participant to guess which story was the lie, will receive a free drink! Length: 2 hours. Distance is 1 walking mile.Additional Fee: $27/person; includes one drink mid-way on tour. Participants must be 21 years or older. Note: This tour is limited to 30 participants.
